This is a tentative to write above the stack. The problem is encoutered
with tests added by commit 38608ee7b690 ("bpf, tests: Add load store
test case for tail call")

This happens because tail call is done to a BPF prog with a different
stack_depth. At the time being, the stack is kept as is when the caller
tail calls its callee. But at exit, the callee restores the stack based
on its own properties. Therefore here, at each run, r1 is erroneously
increased by 32 - 16 = 16 bytes.

This was done that way in order to pass the tail call count from caller
to callee through the stack. As powerpc32 doesn't have a red zone in
the stack, it was necessary the maintain the stack as is for the tail
call. But it was not anticipated that the BPF frame size could be
different.

Let's take a new approach. Use register r0 to carry the tail call count
during the tail call, and save it into the stack at function entry if
required. That's a deviation from the ppc32 ABI, but after all the way
tail calls are implemented is already not in accordance with the ABI.

With the fix, tail call tests are now successfull:

  test_bpf: #0 Tail call leaf jited:1 53 PASS
  test_bpf: #1 Tail call 2 jited:1 115 PASS
  test_bpf: #2 Tail call 3 jited:1 154 PASS
  test_bpf: #3 Tail call 4 jited:1 165 PASS
  test_bpf: #4 Tail call load/store leaf jited:1 101 PASS
  test_bpf: #5 Tail call load/store jited:1 141 PASS
  test_bpf: #6 Tail call error path, max count reached jited:1 994 PASS
  test_bpf: #7 Tail call count preserved across function calls jited:1 140975 PASS
  test_bpf: #8 Tail call error path, NULL target jited:1 110 PASS
  test_bpf: #9 Tail call error path, index out of range jited:1 69 PASS
  test_bpf: test_tail_calls: Summary: 10 PASSED, 0 FAILED, [10/10 JIT'ed]

Can we pass the tail call count in r4 instead?

Should we explicitly zero-out _R5 after this?

You can move the above PPC_RAW_LWZ() and PPC_RAW_MTLR() instructions, as 
well as the ADDI below for r1 into bpf_jit_emit_common_epilogue() and 
not have to repeat those here.

It's a bit tricky.

When entering the function through the normal entry point, the input 
parameter is a 32 bits pointer and is in r3.
But at the begining of the function it gets moved to r4 and r3 is 
cleared because it becomes a 64 bits parameter.

When using the tailcall entry point, it is already in r4, and until now 
r3 was containing garbage, with this patch r3 gets cleared as well.

We could move the input pointer back into r3 for the tailcall as well, 
but it would mean unnecessary register move.

Or we can use r3 for the tailcall counter.

Or I should make r3,r4 a proper 64 bits param (Meaning clearing r3 
before the call instead of doing it at function tailcall entry), and use 
r5 for the tailcall counter. Maybe that's the cleanest.

Don't know, is that required ?

By the way if I start using _R5 instead of _R0 for TCC then this won't 
change.

Right. Allthough I wanted to minimise the churn. But yes I can do that 
especially as we'll now use _R5 for TCC and keep _R0 for mtlr.

Regarding zero'ing out r5, you're right -- we don't use the second 
parameter for a tail call, so that should be fine.

Using r3 will be difficult since it is used when you come in first.
My suggestion was something like the below (untested). Using r5 might be 
fine too.
